Chapter 712: Sangha

The room was stunned, Yang Chong's four-sentence poem was similar to the poem that originally had nothing, and it was all about the embarrassment of Buddhist disciples when they encountered a love word; Xuanzang is young, handsome, personable, and has a kind of momentum that can give Caotang Temple a headache, so he naturally sees Xuanzang's potential. Such a character, so young, to say that he has never encountered anything emotional, it is hard to believe, the key is what Xuanzang thinks in his own heart.

The monks don't speak, Xuanzang looks very entangled, and finally calmly says: "The prince is talented, some things can only be understood, not spoken, everything is arranged by the prince." ”

It seems that the bet is right, originally, the more talented people are, the easier it is to let themselves suffer, Xuanzang's Buddha heart cannot be natural, it should be cultivated in the grinding, and there should be that kind of warm moment. Yang Chong smiled and said: "There is nothing originally, where is the dust; Xuanzang, you will encounter all kinds of hardships along the way, and I hope you stick to your heart and don't look back when you go west. This king promises that when you return to Chang'an with the Buddhist scriptures in ten or twenty years, this king will give you the opportunity to publish a book, and you will take notes along the way, so as not to disappoint this king and the monks of Caotang Temple. ”

Xuanzang has great ambitions and is extremely intelligent, how can he not hear Yang Chong's awakening, as long as Yang Chong is still in control of the government, he cannot shake the Caotang Temple, no matter what the debate in Buddhism is, the authority of the government cannot be challenged. Yang Chong's arrangement is to make his westward journey have an official color, Xuanzang has no ambition to control Buddhism, and said with a smile when he heard this: "The little monk will follow the prince's teachings and will live up to the prince's high expectations." ”

However, Xuanzang still didn't know the reason why Yang Chong attached importance to Caotang Temple, so he could only leave the Yue Wangfu in a puzzled way, and the monks who argued with him were also sent back to Caotang Temple, and by the way, he brought a letter to the Chinese and foreign monks of Caotang Temple. In addition to helping to elaborate Xuanzang's vision, Yang Chong also added a Buddhist poem: "Hugging the bag at the beginning of the house is blue, and the pine wind in the Jingyue is everywhere." He was the head of Huilin, and Maitreya was the same shrine for a few years. The real pearl is sprinkled with a new seat, and the birds are surrounded by flowers. The clouds are scattered in Chang'an, and the incense is thought of alone. ”

This is Qin Shaoyou's poem, hoping that the famous monk Buddha will be printed on the Buddha Gate to a higher level, Yang Chong just changed the location of the south to Chang'an, reminding the Caotang Temple to maintain the old love of incense with Xuanzang. Two poems a day, Yang Chong's actions woke up the Caotang Temple, changed the original attitude of not asking, selected warrior monks and retinues, and formed Xuanzang's Sangha to retain the love of incense between the two sides.

Yang Chong is still concerned about Mozhuang and Mozhuo Academy, after the opening of several colleges in Chang'an, it is not ideal in terms of students, Dasui is still studying for thousands of miles just for officials, and powerful families and aspiring civilians still disdain these science and engineering subjects, thinking that they hinder their careers. No matter how poor the common people are, they are not able to participate, not to mention the strict review of the government, in terms of reading and examination, the education level of the children of the poor family is still different from that of the scholars; Although elementary schools produce students with foundations, the basic education of elementary schools is for literacy and mathematics popularization, which is very different from the elite requirements of going to colleges.

Mozhuo Academy is an alternative, due to Yang Chong's own influence, Mozhuang has a large number of industries, the demand for professionals has been expanding, the quality of students is not only obviously high, but also the number of enrollment places listed every year is in short supply. It is natural for the political affairs hall to stuff this kind of thing into Yang Chong's hands, hoping that Yang Chong can solve this problem without reforming the officials; There are still certain differences between Shannan College and Guozijian, but many people are uncomfortable with the unique development of Mozhuo Academy.

There is already a remark in Chang'an that Mozhuo Academy has an advantage by power, although it is not true, but the circulation has nothing to do with the truth, the key is that with Yang Chong's status and reputation getting higher and higher, the people believe it, and the students of Mozhuo Academy themselves believe it. Pang Huan, the deputy head of the school in charge of Mozhuo, dismissed more than a dozen students for this reason, almost all of them were the children of the lord introduced by the big men, and the parents of the students were very unhappy.

But Pang Huan was very indifferent, and didn't mention this matter at all when he saw Yang Chong and Du Yan coming, but in the conversation with the teachers, Yang Chong deliberately said about it: "Back then, Senior Brother Yuwen and Pang Shanchang wanted to set up Mozhuo Academy, in order to carry forward the spirit of Mozi and Liu Zhuo and make up for the gap between Dasui in science and engineering. The students trained by this academy are not for the sake of being officials, nor for business, but for the purpose of writing books and scientific research, not seeking the best students, but only the most suitable students; I approve of Chief Pang's expulsion of those students, and I will explain it to those parents. ”

Yang Chong is telling the truth, the most outstanding students of Mozhuo Academy, Xifeng Bulai, Lu Yan, and Xie Nengyu, are now famous, but they are not officials, but they are running around every day to solve all kinds of problems. Even though Yang Chong's eldest disciple Li Chunfeng is still in charge of the bank in Chang'an, his promotion is far inferior to those who followed Yang Chong later, in the hearts of Yang Chong and Pang Huan, Mozhuo Academy is just a continuation of ideals and beliefs.

Wang Xiaotong and Mao Wei are the oldest teachers, Wang Xiaotong stood up and proposed: "Mountain master, I think the problem is still in our planning, in Hexi, the emphasis is on professional Bo and miscellaneous, some students can go to several majors at the same time according to their own interests, it doesn't matter if they don't graduate for three years and don't graduate for five years." When we arrived in Chang'an, we were almost moving closer to Guozijian, the major was cut in half, and the number of students doubled, so that it could no longer be arranged according to interests, and when there were more people, there should be management, and the most important thing was that in addition to us and the army, others wanted students not to study, but to peek at academic technology. ”

Du Yan smiled, this is the price of Yang Chong's implementation of his political ideas, Mozhuo Academy has changed from a private institution to a semi-official identity, this pain is inevitable, in fact, the current Mozhuang is the original Mozhuo Academy, and students who are really interested in academics have been sent to Mozhuang and Science and Technology City. Wang Xiaotong and Mao Wei's majors were in mathematics, so they continued to stay in the academy, and people like Yu Jianzi and Wang Fu almost stopped teaching.

Pang Huan proposed in a low voice: "King Yue, it is better to divide one more point and shrink the academy, leaving only twenty students in each major." ”

Pang Huan proposed a plan to train professionals in brewing, machinery, steel, shipbuilding, papermaking, geography and other majors; Yang Chong understood what Pang Huan meant, and now was the time. Pang Huan nodded and said, "Transfer mathematics and other majors to Shannan Academy or Chang'an University, and Mozhuo Academy will restore ten majors, but the number of people will be reduced to about two hundred." As for which majors, I will discuss them with Chief Pang Shan. ”
